[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7" Freezes on Fastboot logo

In trying to install a custom bootloader on my Kindle Fire HD 7", I bricked it. When trying to start it normally, it shows "kindle fire" for a few seconds, but then the screen goes black and it becomes totally unresponsive. When I tried booting it with a factory cable, it shows "kindle fire" for a few seconds, and then switches to the "fastboot" logo, but again it is unresponsive. In both cases, my kindle is never found by adb or fastboot or any other utility when connected to my computer. I'm fairly certain this not a driver problem, because my kindle was recognized before, which is how I rooted my kindle. Is there anything else I can try to unbrick my kindle? The main problem is that it is never recognized by my computer. Now what?

What custom bootloader did you try to install?

EEK!!!!
Messing with the bootloader on the kfhd is suicide. You may want to think about calling Amazon and see if they will replace it.

Go into fastboot mode and type this in command prompt wherever you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe (To do that just go to that folder, shift+right click anywhere and select open command window here).
Post the output
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
and idk if you know this but...if you get your kindle into fastboot mode... all you see is the logo nothing more, and everything else is done through command prompt in windows, So assuming you already know that, what made you think it is unresponsive?

Yeah he is right. Call them, tell them what happened but not how it happened.

The issue is that my kindle is not "discovered", "recognized", or whatever you want to call it by my computer. It has before, because I was able to root my kindle earlier, so I'm fairly certain that it isn't a driver problem, which is the usual response I've found. None of the fastboot commands work because my kindle can't be found.

Hmmm.. Thats weird what did you exactly do? I would try to reinstall the drivers. When you go into device manager do you see it there when it is plugged in? I had the same problem but my micro usb ports where fried in the Kindle bc I had a faulty fastboot cable.. Let us know if you see it in device manager..

If you tried to install Hashcode's 2nd bootloader, which is the only one that would work, it sounds like you missed a step somewhere. Is that the bootloader you tried to install?

Alright, so it was a driver problem. I ended up removing all drivers and sdk stuff, and then reinstalled and reloaded everything, which enabled fastboot to discover my device when using a factory cable. Problem solved. I found you just have to be careful when setting up sdk, and do every single step as listed on https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/setup.html.

I have the exact same problem but found an unusual solution. after 2 months of pain and toil i did something that saved me. When your kindle is frosen on the logo with no animation, you have to restart your computer with your kindle plugged in. I restarted and boom my kindle restarted a few times and booted up. It did not work when i plugged it into usb 3.0 ports, but the usb 2.0 was fine. I just restarted with the kindle plugged in, and it unbricked.
Hope this helps

[Q] Problem with KFHD 7" after factory restore.

Hello,
Let me start by saying I have looked a searched through several other threads but cannot seem to find anything that mimics my problem 100%. I had rooted the Kindle Fire HD 7" a few weeks ago and have been going along with no problem. One day (cannot remember what I installed) the KFHD crashed on me and wanted me to Restore the device in a "download mode" type of screen (used the volume buttons to select restore and power to confirm selection.) The device restarted just fine and was working normally. I went through the KFFirstAide root process again, root checker told me it was rooted. Starting using the options in KFFA to diable OTA, install play store, install google apps, installed Holo Launcher.. Some of the programs did not seem to install properly and didn't like the way things were behaving so I went to the Settings/Device/Restore to Factory Defaults...
After that process finished I am not at an Android setup screen. It has a blue Welcome at the top, select Language below that, Start below that, and a green outlined Android guy below that. When I hit start it says Just a sec.... and eventually get the message Setup Wizard has Stopped.. I can no longer see Kindle Fire ADB in the Device Manger.. Nothing seems to work on KFFA.. I have tried using the fastboot command in a command prompt (says waiting for device) and never does anything..
Basically I would like to know, what steps I may have to take to get the device to load properly again, and hopefully root the device again. IIRC the software version I last saw was 7.3.1...
Thank you for your time and assistance and appologize if it has been discussed before, but I just couldn't seem to find it and not sure what this problem is called to be able to properly search for it..

Before. it says "waiting for device", you should have the kindle powered off and disconnected from the computer. Plug it in after it says "waiting for device" and it should boot into fastboot.

Yep, it is powered off and the cable is disconnected. I plug it in after it says waiting for device and it powers up to the Welcome Setup screen.the command prompt on the computer still says < waiting for device >

When I hold one of the volume buttons and press power on it says Safe Mode at the bottom of the screen. Might there be something I can work with in that? Is there another boot method similar to "download" mode on the GalaxySIII?

Sounds like you just need to get a factory cable and use that to get into fastboot mode. If the device is not recognized by adb using the fastboot cmds will not work on the 7" variant, that only works on the 8.9".

Is there a way to make on or do I have to order it?

Just ordered a factory cable ... what should I do when I get it?

You can get fast boot on the KFHD7 using the stock cable and adb by issuing the adb commands then running "adb reboot bootloader" I think it was. I did it this afternoon when coming off the stock ROM to cm10.1
Edit: n/m, I though he had adb but it wouldn't boot fastboot on a restart with the cable. Guess it doesn't help his case if adb itself won't show.

Since your boot loader is still starting up okay, when powered up with the factory/fastboot cable attached it should jump straight into fastboot. You can then use the fast boot command line tool in the adb kit from Google to push either a backup you made previously, or one from a recovery thread back onto your device. Check in the android development section, there's plenty on info on using fastboot.

Ok. I will try that forum when it arrives.. To the best of my knowledge, I had not created a backup at any time so I will search out something from the Recovery Thread.
Thank you
-Joe

I am just 100% confused now.. I have searched and searched and everything I am reading is just making me more confused.
The cable will put the device into fast boot and will show up in Device Manager as an ADB Device.. I ran option 3 on KFFA and I don't believe the entire system image downloaded as now I am stuck on a screen with a red triangle asking to reboot or restore the device. Neither option does anything.
I have looked in recovery threads for fresh stock images but only find links and directions to TWRP.. Which, if I understand correctly, needs a 2nd bootloader.. And still will need a fresh stock image from amazon. Also, in KFFA it says to connect the device with a normal cable, not fastboot cable, in ADB mode for TWRP and the second bootloader.. I cannot get into the KF to enable ADB like it asks because I cannot get anything to load..
I have downloaded kfhd7-amazon-os-7.3.1 from goo.im and it comes in a zip file. I am not really sure of what to do..
I looked in the Android Development section of this forum and there are only 18 threads that don't talk about fastboot either. Do I need to go to a general Android Development section, not in the Kindle Fire Forum Sections?
I just want to go back to 100% factory original and start over from there..
Also, the KindleFireFirstAide dropbox seems to be overloaded and suspended, so I cannot get the images from there at the moment through their tool.

You didn't need a fast boot cable. All you needed to do was setup ADB drivers and issue the command "adb reboot bootloader"

Even though the device was no longer showing up in the windows device manager as Kindle Fire ADB? The Kindle was being recognized under Mobile Devices.
I don't know if I will be able to do that now that I used Fastboot to reload Factory Reset through KindleFire First Aide (option 3).. I don't think the entire system.img downloaded before it tried to install it and their dropbox server is down now so I can't rerun the command right now.

Solved
Found a link, finally, to onemeila's KFHD System.img Restore tool... Used the fastboot cabled and got it installed and everything seems to be running flawlessly.

Same Story Here...

Hello, after looking through many, many threads..I have finally found this one. Same story here..I have not order the factory cable. I have the original cable that came with my kindlehd. Before I go and buy the cable I wanted to see if this question can be addressed?

Dnoob, it's been a while don't remember the solution but I did get a factory cable and worked everything out through fast boot

[Q] KFHD Boots to Kindle Fire Logo then shuts down. Possible Brick?

Hello all so took it upon myself to try and help my father out with his tablet. Tried the steps outlined in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45946493&postcount=3004 The unit wasn't on the 7.2.3 bootloader so i proceeded to flash that before following the steps outline in that post. Not the tablet will try to boot but not stay on. Is there a way for me to save it or is it done?

Tried the following:
This relies on you having a working device (as long as it can boot at all, you're good). If you wish to enter fastboot mode to flash system images like new versions of TWRP or restore Amazon OS 7.2.3 if you've got freezing or bootloops, then you need a regular USB cable that came with the device, or any other mini-USB cable that fits the device and the computer. Again, you need to have Android SDK installed before you can use fastboot. Turn the device off, and leave it unplugged. Go to your computer, open command prompt, and type this:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Hit enter, and it should return with <waiting for device>. If it doesn't, your fastboot drivers aren't working. Install Android SDK and go from there. If it does, connect your turned-off Kindle to the computer. Two things will happen: one, the command prompt will show "Tate-xxx-xxx" (something there), and two, your Kindle should reboot into fastboot mode. To exit fastboot mode, after you finished flashing what you needed, type this:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
If you can fully boot into the ROM, you can use ADB to boot into fastboot, but you must still use the same command above to reboot out of fastboot mode. Then make sure ADB is turned on through settings, connect the device to the computer using a regular USB cable, and type this:
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
And that's all for the basics! Let's move on to the actual process.

Still nothing the tablet boots to the logo and shuts down. Will i need to purchase one of the fastboot cables or a nexus 7?

If it's a kfhd 7" or kf2, then a fastboot cable is your best bet, the fastboot getvar product command only works on a 8.9" model unless you have 2nd boot loader on the other models.

Damn well that's better then having to pay for a new tablet. I put it on the charger after reading that it may be a charging issue. I know it only trickle charges through USB. It still does the same thing but where the screen would be black behind the kindle fire logo it is green with lines running through it. I will let it charge try again and then buy the cable if anything. Any other thoughts or ideas?

Uh I hope the boot loader isn't damaged too bad, I haven't heard of green lines going through it before, usually if something goes bad with the 2nd bootloader installation process(aka not downgrading first) it results in a red screen. This is probably due to a bad download of the boot loader, that's why it is always key to check the md5sum of the boot loader before you downgrade it.

Lines in the screens, good LCD screen not withstanding, are not good. Normally this is a firmware issue that required Amazon to send a replacement. Let's hope KFFA restores everything for you.

I let it charge overnight and booted it and it is still only booting to the kindle fire logo and shutting down. Luckily the screen is black now rather than the green I mentioned. So is my best course of action the fast boot cable and then KFFA? I will try the fastboot commands again when i get home. Is KFFA only going to help me in the sense of restoring the files or will it potentially help me with the fastboot process as well? The above method that I used with the fireflash 11 is that proper or should i be doing it some other way?

I personally think the fire flash method is the easiest, some people brick though because they don't follow the instructions properly, I don't think this was the case with you though. That kindle is more than likely not going to go into fastboot with commands, that typically is a 8.9" thing unless you have a successful flash of 2nd bootloader. I know kffa restores the system partition and recovery and boot, but I am unaware if it flashes the boot loader, and I am pretty sure you definitely need to reflash the bootloader since it had lines through it.

You must have a fastboot factory cord, not a regular USB. Watch this video to make sure you have your ADB driver set up right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw Use KFFA to restore to 7.2.3. Choose that option as Hashcode has a 7.2.3 boot.img that will match the firmware you will be using, reducing the chance or bootlooping a great deal.

If your going to use FireFlash, you can go to seokhun's thread and read uo on flashing the 2nd bootloader / TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Some great info about this on Opemsystem's thread as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170
Hashcode's thread has the files you need to flash. If you choose 7.2.3, use boot.img 7.2.3 located right below step 4 of Hascodes thread. Not number 4 of step 2, but right below step 4 and the TWRP 2.6.1.0 in his original post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Amazon Kindle Fire HD Stuck In Fastboot Mode HELP !!!

Hi,
I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

It doesn't show up at all on the device manager with a triangle next to it listed as Tate,jem, otter,or otter 2 does it?

Right click the device, hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature, and extract them, point the update device window to where you extracted my drivers and let it install them, if you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. Once the drivers are installed I would suggest trying a simple
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might kick it out of fastboot. Tell me how it goes.

Hello! First of all, i'm kind of a noob as far as kindle development issues concern, but i managed to install custom roms before (in fact, my brick problema began when i tried to upgrade to CM11 from goo.im). I am really desperate right now because i followed all the instructions in several threads but nothing helped me so far.
Here is my situation:
My kindle fire hd 7" is stuck at Fastboot mode after my failed attempt to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM11. My computer recognizes it as Tate-PVT-08 but it's not accepting any fastboot commands, except for "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". When i run this command, my kindle actually "reboots" but goes into fatboot mode again and again. When in "cmd", it doesn't recognize the devices either, but when run command "getvar" shows Tate-PVT-08. In conclusión, i want to know if there is a problema with the instalation of cmd in my PC, or if you can recommend any tool to restore my Tablet, even if it means going back to stock OS.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Thank you for taking your time to help me out, appreciate it.
I changed the cord because i realized that i'm already in fastboot mode, so don't need fastboot cable. When i run the command, the Kindle boot logo lasts for few more senconds than with fastboot cable, but still goes into fastboot mode again. Also tried pushing all posible buttons (At blue kindle ffire logo) to reach recovery mode but failed. I'm using Kindle Fire First Aide but doesn't seems to work either.

If you see the blue TWRP there may be hope without a doing a factory reset. Press the power button for 30 seconds and power down the KFHD7. Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.

If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Mr LinearEquation, thank you so much for your advice.
Following a different thread i managed to boot into TWRP by flashing images of "Freedom Boot" and TWRP itself via fastboot commands. Now in theory i can flash a .zip of any ROM but the thing is that i cannot load zips to the Tablet. even though it's recognized now as KINDLE instead of Tate-PVT-08 in the Device Manager, i'm not able to see the kindle as a Pop-up window where you can drag-and-drop files to the Tablet.
The question is: How do i push a ROM via adb as you mentioned in your previous message? Do you know which file do i need and the proper command to push it?
Kindly Regards.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Help! Mine was stuck in fastboot. When I hit the power button it boots up automatically in fastboot with any device attached to it. Then after a few sec it goes off.

Have you looked at this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 Maybe the unbricked section (part 6 of first page) can help in particular the SRT tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 . I have also noticed if you scroll down to troubleshooting section on the first page of first link it lists your problem and the steps to resolve it

Thank you for the reply. Well, my first problem is the kindle doesn't stay on fastboot. It shuts down after a second.

recovery
Hi I locked mine up also and used a program called
Demo Mode Restore. Basically you shut off your kindle and unplug the charge/data cable run the program and click enter once then says plug you kindle in and when it boots the program catches it before it starts up and all you have to do is follow the directions and when it restarts its like when you first took it out of the box
You`ll have to do a search for Demo Mode Restore
Hope this help. God Bless )

I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

Kindle Fire HD7 red screen

So I was trying to install TWRP to my Kindle Fire HD7. I had successfully rooted and was using FireFlash to flash the bootloader.
When I pressed boot to recovery the device rebooted showed the kindle logo and then a red screen.
I tried making a fastboot cable but could not get the device to show up in ADB devices. Am I totally boned?
I have links to the directions I followed and a gif of the logo and red screen but I cannot post them since I'm new.

I had this issue also, I just made a fastboot cable, plugged it in and flashed stock files, I then rerooted, installed TWRP, 2ND bootloader, then CM11, finally with PAC-rom.

I can can agree with wire55. Have to have a fastboot cable to fix this. Reflashed stock then created my own personal port ROM.

I made a fastboot (by jumping pin 1 and 4 on a microusb) cable but it shows the device as disconnected in Device Manager.
Here is what it looks like when I turn it on i.imgur.com/TSUHsjW.gif

you dont use adb commands with fastboot mode, you use fastboot commands with fastboot mode. Try "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if it reports back. If it does all you will need to do is flash the older bootloader for your device first(check the md5sum plz so you don't hard brick), then restore with kffa or srt. Fireflash method should work fine now for sure once you have flashed the older bootloader.

concerning rdwidam
It says <waiting for device>
I will try again tomorrow, my friend is bringing over a fastboot cable that we know is working.
I'll report back if there is progress. Thanks.

ok that's good, if the command still doesn't respond after it says fastboot mode on the screen, then go to the device manager and look for a device with a yellow triangle next to it, once you find it download my drivers in my signature, extract them somewhere, and right click the device and hit update drivers, point it to where you extracted mine and let it install. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first.

OK, I got a fastboot cable but still no luck. Nothing shows up in device manager and no response to fastboot commands. I think I'm going to throw my self on the mercy of Amazon.

So the fastboot cable isn't throwing it into fastboot mode, it is staying at a red screen? You are positive the fastboot cable is a fastboot cable? And i have to ask this even though its stupid but you are positive it was a kindle fire hd 7 and not an 8.9"? The fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models is why i'm asking, those will go into fastboot with the command i mentioned but its slightly more complicated than that, the device would show up for a brief moment then disappear when turned on.

It is possible our fastboot cable is not working. I will try another one today. I measured the kindle and the view-able screen is 7 inches diagonally, while the whole body including the bezel is 9 inches.

Ok, success! I got out my soldering iron and made a working fastboot cable. Now my kindle turns on and shows a fastboot logo on screen, and I have a device called Tate-PVT-08 in Device Manager. So I installed the android drivers to allow me to use fastboot commands. Then I used KFHD_SRT tools to restore the Recovery and Factory image.
Thank you everyone for all your help and knowledge. I was freaking out a bit, but all is well.
